]]> I don’t know about you guys, but I love argyle!  I love argyle sweaters, scarves, hats and socks; if I could find argyle pants, I’d probably wear them too.  So last weekend I decided to create a set of 50 Argyle Pattern Swatches for Illustrator and of course, give them away on my website.

I absolutely love creating pattern swatches, they are so fun to create and so useful as well.  You can use them in any number of ways including fashion design, textiles, package design and of course, graphic and web design.  Pattern swatches in Illustrator are so flexible in how they can be displayed.  You can scale them, rotate them, nudge them over pixel by pixel; all without having to changing the shape of your original object.  You can find a detailed tutorial on how to install and work with pattern swatches in Illustrator here.
